[3.1] JUGGERNAUT/BERSERKER 1H+Shield Max Block&Spell Block Tank, Atziri Killer+a BoR version

Hey ComradeSerge,

thank you for this nice build !
After the patch i adapted it a little bit.

Running Determination + Tempesthield + Hatred + Herald of Ash with an Alphas Howl.
Otherwise unchanged.
In ele reflekt maps i switch to Dominating Blow.

Atm lvl 81, and its a breeze :)

Gear , some gems just for leveling for my other chars :

That's a good setup, the new herald auras are nice for this build :)

Ok, so here's the news, people.

With the same gear (except that I had to swap the corrupted Lazhwar amulet for a non-corrupted one because of INT), these are my defensive stats with the new tree:



To summarize: life remains same, more block chance, but less spell block chance, less armour, a lot more resistances.

Most importantly: DPS remains the same!

The armour loss and spell block chance loss are sad news, but I think it's not that bad.

ty for good build

I add a new gem Herald of ash

Reduced Mana - Hatred - Determination - Hearald of ash

build

gear

ComradeSerge,

Thank you so much for the guide, I gotta admit, better than working on my classic 66 Ford mustang. Anyway, bro if you have time, can you point out what two or three pieces I need to increase my DPS. Hell, anything you can advise me, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

p.s. I know about the sockets and lack of 6-link, but I'm working on it ..


Gear



Tree

Gear: try to get rings with flat physical damage on them. Also, try getting gloves with attack speed. Finally, since masters patch came, you can craft a lot of mods on gear, so that is maybe even a better option than buying completely new gear.

Tree: I see people repeatedly do not choose the weapon elemental damage nodes over at templar. I really do not understand why. 40% more WED for 3 nodes is a pretty nice boost to your dps. Try connecting the life nodes at templar through there, instead of just the strength nodes. Also, Lava lash at templar is very nice for dps.

Yes, the new gem is a very nice addition to this build. I will probably add it.

thanks a lot for this guide. Trying this out on a fresh league :D

SO i Managed to craft myself an additional curse necklace.

what would you go with if you could apply two curses?

and im pretty lazy so im tempted to put both on a cast when damage taken and leave a flammability for the initial manual cast.

Depends what you prefer. If you want to be extra safe, you can go enfeeble+temporal chains or enfeeble+warlords mark etc. If you want a mix of defensive and offensive, combine of the former with flammability. Up to you :)
